Hello and welcome!

How Women Heal is your home if you are a strong woman who has faced trials and tribulations that have challenged you deeply to grow – and you have and you are.

This is the place for you if you KNOW you are a powerful woman. At the same time, you suffer and have suffered deeply from a grievous loss of some sort – it may have been a childhood loss or tragedy – or it may be something you have experienced in your adult life that has put you to the test.

You know what GRIEF is all about.

Still, you know, too, what LIFE is all about.

You have found a home here, and here is where we will sit and listen to one another, tell our stories, and connect. Because it is in this connection we find a new kind of strength. We find comfort and solace in the fact that we are NOT alone. In fact, we are the world. No one escapes life without loss, but what we do with it is remarkable.

You will recover, find equilibrium, and learn what your innermost strengths really are.

Welcome to How Women Heal.

About

Our mission is to bring women out of the darkness into the light. It is also to bring together women who have a wisdom born of their experiences…so that we may feel less alone in our brilliance which is all too often diminished by our ‘failures’, entrapments, stuckness and journeys through the proverbial mud and trappings we find ourselves in.

Here, we will tell our stories to relieve ourselves of the burden of secrecy.

Here, we will learn we are not alone.

Here, we will find sanity as we are reminded that emotion is not madness. Strong women experience the entire range of emotions. We aim at all times to lose shame and acknowledge our wholeness.

Here, we will teach each other how we have found our way through the most trying of circumstances.

Here, we will be mentors to one another – mothers, sisters and friends – in the search for self.

Here, we will celebrate the fact that we are alive and self-compassionately growing.

Here, we will have a safe place.

Here, we are a movement dedicated to helping women heal as we fight the forces that keep us in the dark, denying women the inherit right to be seen, heard, felt, respected, present and in control of decisions which affect us.

This is born directly of the knowledge and understanding that women do not have the power they should today in proportion to (1) men who primarily hold key positions of national and corporate importance and (2) others who behave in a manner that is oppressive. How Women Heal acknowledges and aims to be part of the direct response to this.

How Women Heal offers a pathway to healing that is both individual and collective. This community is open to all women from all walks of life and corners of the globe.

The Mission

There is no doubt that each one of us is comprised of an ecosystem of thoughts, feelings (emotions), and behaviours. Each affects the others and the way that these interact affects the way we move through life. The question is: are our emotions ‘friend or foe’? Answer: our emotions are one of the best ways …

“It is only kindness that makes sense anymore.” This is the quote that a friend has at the bottom of her email. Every time I see it, I pause and think about it. It’s worth thinking about. Why? Because we NEED kindness. Just look in and around you.

It’s a beautiful day when you can let others into your heart again after having been hurt by people. We’re all wandering around on this planet feeling just a little bit hurt. Can we see that in one another and make each other’s acquaintance? What is possible then? The sting of rejection hurts. We were …
